I had a wonderful experience at Gentle Hands Dentistry. I highly recommend Dr. Sadre and her team. I had such a positive experience and was impressed by the amount of concern by all staff members. Not only was the office very nice, but free covered parking is a perk of coming to the office. It was easy to schedule appointments, I was able to schedule my whole family without having any issues. Additionally, Dr. Sadre was knowledgeable and fully explained all procedures, plus she's very pretty. The office has a discount plan available for purchase for people without dental insurance, that was a huge help for our family. The discount plan is a wonderful alternative to traditional dental insurance.read more

The Gentle Hands Dentistry office was friendly and helpful. Everything during the appointment process and the cleaning was explained. The staff was friendly and the office environment was quiet and relaxing. There was no wait and the cleaning was thorough.read more

After a few weeks of a really painful tooth, they got me in next day for an exam. Unfortunately the tooth had to come out, which they did right then. I came back for a deep clean, which was great. Highly recommend these guys for quality work at great prices.read more

The staff is incredibly nice and friendly. Dr Sadre is very thorough as well. If I have a concern she addresses it. Ann is very gentle with cleanings and makes sure I'm comfortable throughout the whole process. I really do love coming here!read more

I have been going to this office for the last ten years and they have changed my attitude towards dental care. The staff is very personable and the environment very friendly.

I highly recommend the office!!!read more

Gentle hands dentistry is a very awesome place to go to if going to the dentist office makes you nervous! They pay attention to your needs and take care of you! I have extremely sensitive teeth and they have always made sure that I am comfortable and relaxed before any cleanings or procedures! I suffer from severe anxiety and they have always put me at ease here! They have plans here for patients too if you don't have dental insurance so that you can afford to take care of your teeth! I would definitely record them!?read more

Dr. Sadre is my favorite dentist. She really has "gentle hands" that make any procedure painless. I've been her patient for 10 years. Every visit has been a pleasant experience. I have recommended Gentle Hands Dentistry to many friends. All of them are very satisfied with the top-quality care that the doctors and staff have provided. If you have a fear of dental work, then make an appointment at Gentle Hands. They will make you comfortable while evaluating your dental health. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you to Dr. Sadre, McKenzie, and Ann for taking such great care of me. And thanks to the front desk staff for being so friendly and helpful.read more

Great hands that are very gentle. I have had BIG fear about the dentist since I was a child. It has kept me from coming in and taking good care of my teeth.

I've never been to a dental office where the experience made me want to come back, however this place takes the cake and they really care about the care they provide to their patients. Check this page out, you won't regret it.read more

I have been a patient at Gentle Hands Dentistry for many years. On my last visit I had my teeth cleaned and a cavity was found. They were able to fill the cavity on the same visit and it took no more than 15 minutes after the cleaning as the anesthetic was administered during the cleaning process. This saves me time as I don't have to make an additional trip. Obviously if it was more serious like a crown this could not be done but it shows they care about your time as well as your teeth.read more

Very clean. Staff is hospitable... GENTLE HANDS is an understatement, I i nearly felt anything. They are very compassionate, knowledgeable, and patient to say the least. They seem to truly love their careers and their patients whom they work with. I they explain each step and what's going on while keeping you informed of the importance of your oral hygiene....basically it's a family feel, a truly one of a kind experience.....read more

My experience at "Gentle Hands Dentistry" is always an excellent experience. I have been going there for approximately 6 years. Staff who have worked on my teeth explain the work that will be done beforehand. Today I had the pleasure of meeting Ann and "Thank you Ann" for the great work you did on my teeth.

In the generously-lit reception and relaxation area, one will find inviting leather couches, both supple and firm, boasting a modern luxury Italian villa ambiance. Immediately, guests will likely find the up-to-date eclectic menagerie of magazines a splendid way to fill the very short gap between check-in and examination time. This subtly-fragranced waiting area caries through the air quiet wafts of nonchalant and vaguely-fruity springtime aroma, combined with a welcoming, calming and seemingly neurologically-balancing medical facility-appropriate background music selection. The music is not decibly-intrusive nor obnoxiously-faint as some might fear. The two-tone paint decor which can only be cheerfully described as "warm pearl" and "saddle" help the medical experience, in this reviewer's opinion, to feel much more coffee house-esque than your typical, tired "sterile hospital white" motif all too common in substandard and unnamed dental care facilities. Upon the wall, one will notice the meticulous spacing and attention to detail given to the placement of Dr. Sadre's many, many inspiring awards and diplomas, leaving little room, if any, to second guess Dr. Sadre's mastery of the dental arts and practices. Gentle Hands Dentistry really does live up the their "Gentle" claim, as my ongoing multi-cavity treatment experiences require an all-hands-on-deck approach, each hand as noticeably gentle as the next - a refreshingly rare and honest business self-assessment if I have ever seen one. Dr. Sadre's optical magnification accoutrements appeared to be of top quality and good repair, making for an understandably painless injectable numbing treatment. If one's aching latissimus dorsi is in need of relief, the massaging dental chairs are just what the Doctor ordered, apparently. I personally found the texture and integrity of the toilet tissue to be appealing, as well as the moisturizing and foaming action of the antibacterial hand soap to be of remarkable scent and viscosity. My exorbitant and inexcusable quantity of cavities, which were in dire need of professional medical attention, were addressed promptly, skilfully and professionally, leaving my sensitive teeth in fantastic repair. Upon dismissal, I appreciated the receipt of a complimentary and gender appropriate-colored toothbrush, the gesture in generosity of which has not gone unnoticed. In the future, decidedly, when high fructose corn syrup and polypropylene glycol continue to ferociously eat away at my enamel, Dr. Sadre will always be my first call.read more

I love Dr. Sadre!
After the revolving door of pediatric dentistry I took my 7 year old to see her. This was the first time in 7 years that anyone was able to get x-rays of his mouth. He has a strong gag-reflex but you'd never know it working with this team.
All are personable and I rarely have to wait to get in the chair.

I've been going to Gentle Hands for about three years and the service hasn't changed. From the very beginning office staff is professional, courteous, and very friendly. Dr. Sadre ensures that you are always comfortable, and they are always willing to work with your budget. I have, and will continue to refer people to them. read more
